It’s Rahul Dravid’s Birthday And Twitter Has Come Out Batting For India’s Legendary Player

Cricket brings India together to fight with each other.

But every now and then, something or someone so inspirational comes along that we are capable of shutting our traps and just appreciating their dedication to what is undoubtedly India’s most cherished sport. And one such legend is Rahul Dravid.

Starting his career at the age of 12, he represented his state at the under 15 and under 19 levels. The man known as The Wall was greatly lauded by India as a player representing the best of the game. So it’s no wonder the former captain is receiving heaps of love from fans online.

Friendship isn’t about being inseparable but knowing and realising that inspite of not meeting regularly nothing will change. Wishing the very best to a dear friend, Rahul with whom I have shared some great memories #HappyBirthdayDravidpic.twitter.com/9BcLlN7wFF

If you put your house on the line, and had to pick a cricketer to play for the roof over your head, Dravid’s your man! Dravid can go to sleep every night with the thought that for 17 years, while he was at the crease, he gave India hope. And hope was enough. #HappyBirthdayDravid
